AS A JEWELRY ENTHUSIAST and movie geek, I get super excited when I hear that houses like Tiffany & Co. have provided jewelry for a film — especially when many are historical pieces that have never been worn in modern times. Tiffany has a longstanding tradition of lending jewels to films and also collaborating with costume designers to add to the character development and bring the narrative to life. The 27 pieces of archival and contemporary high jewelry and objects the renowned house has provided for Netflix’s Frankenstein, directed by the award-winning Guillermo del Toro, will once again do just that. All of the jewels, including necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, brooches and pendants, are worn by Mia Goth as Elizabeth in the film, with the exception of a pocket watch, which is worn by Charles Dance as Leopold Frankenstein.
The film’s costume designer Kate Hawley “meticulously curated the jewels, ensuring that each piece worn in the film helped express each character’s inner world,” according to a Tiffany press release.
The collaboration also includes custom-made creations designed by Hawley and crafted by Tiffany.
“Having Tiffany & Co. as a collaborator was an honor that was deeply moving for my entire crew. It was a recognition of our craft and added a new artistic dimension,” Hawley explains. “Tiffany’s jewelry became its own creative contribution, similar to hair design, makeup, wardrobe, sets and props, and was integral to completing the design space. It was not just an accessory but an essential element specifically to Elizabeth’s character, enhancing the color palette and overall interpretation of her world.”
Two outstanding pieces that Goth wears in the film include:

The Wade necklace, which was gifted by financier and heir to the Western Union fortune Jeptha Homer Wade II to his wife Ellen Garretson Wade, was crafted in 1900 and was a prime example of Tiffany Belle Epoque garland style jewelry with floral and swag motifs. It features approximately 40.45 carats of European-cut diamonds and is set in 18K gold and platinum.

In the spirit of actors choosing jewelry that nods to the films they are promoting or to the houses that created the pieces, Goth wore a Tiffany archival necklace in gold and platinum set with diamonds and emeralds to the premiere of Frankenstein at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival.

And to the Toronto International Film Festival North American premiere, she wore Tiffany Archives necklace in gold with amethysts (1880–1900) with a Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Ailsa ring in 18k gold and platinum with a green tourmaline and diamonds.
